Is Abyss from TNA Glen Jacobs (the kane before this new unmasked one?), cause i dont think the kane they have now is Glen, and Abyss looks heaps like him, look at the hair!! Um, Dude, Glen Jacobs has played Kane sence his debute in 97 all the way to the bald Kane you see on Raw. He just happened to slim down a bit when he was injured in 2002.

I hope this time they don't seperate tag teams. They should put them together, if you get one half you automatically get the other half. Splitting up the Dudleys and Hardy's and stuff is just stupid. By the looks of Smackdown Shelton Benjamin is looking like he's getting a huge push, so I could see this tag team splitting up.

lol, speaking of Glen Jacobs have any of u seen the pics of him when he started as the Christmas Creature on some amature wrestling org.??? funniest thing ever...

I swear, Glen Jacobs has no luck when it comes to gimicks. sheesh.

^hahaha!!!^

thats awesome!!! thanx for sharing!!!! (Poor Glen )

LOL, yeah, poor Glen, those gimmiks were by far wrestling crap (cheap plug for a certain website,
sorry mods!!), but now he is having great success as the monster Kane. On to the news:

Bret Hart Talks About Chris Benoit's WrestleMania Win:

The following is from The Calgary Sun:

CONGRATS, CHRIS: I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Chris Benoit for winning the WWE world heavyweight championship last weekend at Wrestlemania XX.

I remember Chris when he was just a little kid hanging around the Stampede Wrestling dressing room in Edmonton.

Chris idolized The Dynamite Kid and, when Chris first broke into the business, Dynamite thought enough of him to give him his wrestling boots. And there's no doubt Chris still has them, too.

For all the years I've known Chris, he's exemplified a dedicated work ethic. I have respected him as a wrestler for a long time.

Besides, he's also an all-around good guy in a business where it's easy to forget from where you came.

Chris deserves everything he gets because he earned it.

With Benoit holding the world championship, I can't help but be impressed with the direction the WWE is going.

I've always felt after exhausting the shock-value aspect, the only place the company could go is back to what built WWE in the first place -- realistic, skilful wrestling.

And there's nobody who does that better today than Chris Benoit.

Long may you run, my friend.


More On Brock Lesnar Leaving WWE Including The 9 Reasons Why He Left(He comes off as a whiner!):

Brock Lesnar still has another five years left on his WWE contract which has put WWE in the power position in terms of negotiating his release. Brock parted ways with super agent Barry Bloom after Bloom got him his original WWE contract. It seems likely right now that WWE will not allow him to work for any other pro-wrestling or shoot fight company for the next five years. WWE is expecting Brock to return if he is unable to land a job in the NFL. Despite what some think, Lesnar is not financially set for life. He is very young and spent money freely during the last year or so on expensive cars and other "toys."
At this point, these appear to be the nine reasons why Brock Lesnar left WWE:

1. His travel schedule. Brock has always been a farm boy and he could not handle the hectic schedule, waking up in hotel rooms everyday, etc.

2. He didn't love pro-wrestling. Brock got into wrestling for the money. He actually hated pro-wrestling when he was a standout amateur wrestler.

3. Right or wrong, he really feels he can make it to the NFL. Brock misses being involved in a "real sport."

4. He thought WWE did not appreciate him enough. Brock was not happy with how he was being booked and that he had to drop the WWE Title to a "little guy" like Eddie Guerrero. He wanted a long title reign. Having to work matches against Bob Holly in South Africa made him feel even more demoted.

5. His personal life. Brock is currently living with his young child and the child's mother, while dating Sable. His personal life has added a lot of stress and anxiety.

6. He was embarrassed that walk up ticket sales to WWE house shows went up after he dropped the WWE Title to Eddie Guerrero.

7. He did not want to feud with the Undertaker. 'Taker had been telling people that he would "set Brock straight" and humble him if he didn't show veterans respect.

8. He did not want to end up with serious injuries or be a cripple. He did not like that wrestling had no off season where he could rest his body.

9. He had nothing left to prove. He had already reached the top of the wrestling industry and thought the only place he would go now is down, then back up to where he had already been. He wanted a new challenge.


WWE has released the Backlash Poster which features Chris Benoit. This pretty much cements that Benoit will be staying with the Raw Brand after the lottery on Monday night.
The WWE has also posted the following on the Backlash Official site:

After nearly two decades of competing professionally, Chris Benoit has finally won the big one, capturing the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. Now on Sunday, April 18, the Canadian Crippler will return to his homeland as Champion when RAW brings Backlash to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Don't miss this historic event, live on pay-per-view.

The poster itself features two photos of Benoit on a black background along with both the Raw & Backlash Logos.

I just read that Kurt Angle won't be needing Surgery after all.

What a relieve!!. Just think how much it would suck for angle to be out AGAIN! Espeically sence he just turned heel.

Kurt just can't manage to stay as either face or hell, and that bothers me. his charcter is inconsistent. And good riddance to Brock Lesnar. he was fucking rude to my little sister during an autograph session at a car dealership around here. He didn't say 2 words to her, when Rikishi did. Chris Benoit, I hated him in the Wcw, as well as Eddie and Saturn and Dean malenko, but thankfully the other 2 are gone and benoit and guerrero improved their wrestling greatly.

Well, if you consider the fact that Kurt took time off for surgery, it's very common that a superstar will automatically be a face upon their return. Hell, HHH was cheered wildly by the crowd when he returned after tearing up his leg. Undertaker was also face upon his return from his injury, as was Kane when he teamed with RVD. Matt Hardy was cheered by the RAW crowd, then turned heel the same night. It just happens that way. The Rock was cheered when he came back from making his first movie, but that lasted for a half minute before he showed off that he was a heel by insulting the audience. But in almost every case, a superstar returning from a lenghty absence will be a face, if only because the fans are glad that they're well and back for action. People like Jericho and Christian are able to hold a role as a heel for as long as they've done because neither has been injured to where they had to take that much time off, to be cheered on their return.

I didn't care much for Guerrero and Benoit in WCW, but I hated Ric Flair. When he got control of WCW, he kept making himself #1 contender for the title, and when he got it wouldn't give it up, just like a certain WWF superstar we know now.

I saw Undertaker last night on Afterburn.I laughed hard when Taker took his hat off and Paul Heyman said "OH MY GOD!".The Tombstone dosent look right anymore because his/her head dosent hit the mat.

They're not supposed to, basically, but make it look like the head hits the mat, or cushion the head to soften the blow. Otherwise, you can really bust up someone's neck that way (Stone Cold's neck was eventually messed up from a flawed piledriver). When Kane tombstoned Linda McMahon, they had the camera at an angle behind him where it would look like her head hit the steel ramp.

that tombstone on Linda was so bad and fake looking they shouldn't have even done it. However, it was when they weren't really 'allowed' to do that move, so big props to her for having the guts to even attempt that one.

Can't wait for Raw tomorrow night, I'm excited to what is going to happen. Will Kane and Undertaker meet again? Be on the same show even!?

Also, Vince said GM's, Champions, and even his own family could all be switching shows tomorrow night. Could we see a return of Stephanie and or Shane??

If Steph does come back, i really hope she lost some weight........

Ahahaha what the hell is that supposed to be? Damn I fell really bad for Jacobs, he's come a long way from horrible gimmicks to get to the point at where he is currently. I'm telling you Kane needs to win the damn belt again, and this time have a reign.

BTW RAW should be really good tomorrow, I wonder what matches they will have tomorrow.

I agree that Kane should win the title. He should have a long reign of destruction.......

Kane only had the belt one time it was after he defeated Stone Cold at the 98 King of The Ring if I can remember correctly.Then the next day on Raw he lost it to Stone Cold.I've seen clips of Undertaker holding a belt but I dont know how long he had it.

Taker's had the belt as the original Dead Man and as Biker Man, the time he had it as a Biker was when he turned heel, and feuded with Jeff Hardy.

Didnt Kane have the WCW championship for a lil while? Im prrably mistaken, but i think i remember hearing about it.......

MetadragonX Wrote: Didnt Kane have the WCW championship for a lil while? Im prrably mistaken, but i think i remember hearing about it.......

I seen it live, King of the Ring 98. He beat Stone Cold.

I see heyman being fired and shane or steph taking control of SD! and Heyman bringing back ECW and getting the confidential TV spot on saturday nights.

MetadragonX Wrote: Didnt Kane have the WCW championship for a lil while? Im prrably mistaken, but i think i remember hearing about it.......

Kane has never held the WCW Championship, ever. The only World title Kane has ever held was the WWF Championship for that little while which truly sucks ass. He needs to win the WWE or World title something in the new future dammit!

As for monday, I can't wait to see which wrestlers comes over to my show SmackDown!. I wonder what matches they're gonna have on Raw sence everything is about the lottery.

killax Wrote: I see heyman being fired and shane or steph taking control of SD! and Heyman bringing back ECW and getting the confidential TV spot on saturday nights.

DO NOT BRING BACK STEPHANIE!!! Smackdown sucked sooooooooooo much when she was the GM, Heyman is perfect, because with him and Bischoff as GM's it looks cool to have the owners of WCW and ECW in the palm of Vince McMahon. I wouldn't mind seeing Shane, but he has a baby now, so I doubt it.
